Two Entries From Dur ham ln Caif Rodeo Durham County's entries ln the Calf Rodeo at Lindsay Fair, Sept. l8th will be James Ricl- ard, R. R. 4, Bowmanville, and Jerry Hasiuk of Zion. This should be quite a con- test if it follows the lines of the one at the C.N.E. recently, where there .was a terrific scramble before the event con- cluded. The boys are placed in the enclosure with the young beef steens at one end and the lads at the other. At a signai, they dash madly toward the calves and attempt ta catch and haiter them and lead them across tne finish line. Usually, the steers get quite excited at this chang- ing mass of human youth and don't take too kindly to the handling. Amusement and ex- citement is always the esuit. Those who catch a caîf and' take it across the line becoine the owners of the animals Othens get a consolation pnIze of $5.00. Thene will bc one steer caif of the Santa Gertrudis breed, two or three Shonthorns and the balance Herefords.

Orono Midway Fails to Appear Harness acing and a wide variety of colounful exhibits drew hundreds of piersons to Orono Fair Grounds Friday and Saturday for the annuai Fali Fair.

Only disappointing thing to show officiais and to the many Porky Treed Big Headache For Principal Supervising Principal A. M~'. Thompson bas had more head- aches than accommodating overflow students tbis week. Tuesday c'onsiderable excite- ment was aroused among chil- dren attending Central Sehool by a large porcupine that had lodged itself in a tree directly in front of the school on Well- ington St. Mr. Thompson thinking the animal would leave during the night was quite surprised on Wedncsday to, find it still there with large crowds of children standing under the tree look- ing up. Afraid that ahl the miliing amound would be the cause of an accident lie stanted pumsuing ways of getting ri;d o! "Porky". He received a cool reception fnom the Police who suggested that maybe the Cream of Bar- iey might be interested. This brought no response so he nextL contacted the Public Utilities but they stated that il was out of their line. As of press time Wednesday he is stili up the tree. To complicate Principal Thompson's dilemmna the schools teach that a porcupine is friend- lY ta man and shouldn't be shot-it will be interesting to see what friend "Porky" does. eêtd, Wàkth- Ard'ie -Tait Af fer 30 Years of "Giddap Joe Changes Occupation- To Savé Hîs '5h anks Mare' After 3d1 years o! clucking "Giddap" ta a horse, veteran deliveny man Joe Sheehan bas taken a job where shank's mare is the only kind invohved.
